Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nexus items need an SMLC coupler and how many do I need?
Each Nexus Mesh Panel or hoarding panel uses 1 coupler. Each B1 buttress flag uses 4. Each B2 buttress barrier on a Nexus Water Filled Barrier run uses 2. Count the fitting points on your layout and add them up. For project quantities, call us on 0330 056 4420 or email sales@securasite.co.uk.
Is the SMLC coupler the same as the Standard Fence Coupler?
No. They are different parts. The SMLC coupler is tightened with a 21mm spanner and is used on Nexus fittings. The Standard Fence Coupler is listed for Heras-style temporary fencing panels and uses a 7/16 inch scaffold spanner. Order the part that matches the product you are fitting.
What tools do I need to fit it?
A 21mm spanner tightens the SMLC coupler and the flag nuts. Nexus panels are also fixed with M12 fasteners, which use an 8mm Allen key. Fit panels only after the barriers have been filled with ballast.
Are couplers supplied with the Nexus panels and flags, or do I order them here?
Panels and flags are fitted using SMLC couplers. Before you add extras, our team can confirm what is packed with the panel or flag you are ordering, so you do not buy duplicates or run short. Call us on 0330 056 4420 or email sales@securasite.co.uk.
Can I use it to link Nexus barriers to other barriers?
Novus, RB22, Evo1M, EvoGator, ROTA Slot, Firmus, 2.3m pedestrian barriers and 3.5m mesh with feet are listed as compatible with Nexus lugs and links when used with a coupler. Position and quantity depend on the combination, so contact our team before ordering for a mixed run. Compatibility with products outside that list is not confirmed.
